A Start is a Start!

Plans are meant to be changed or a Start is a Start! I'm "planning" a medallion wall-hanging featuring the old Methodist Church at Rocky Springs (on the Natchez Trace). I intended to use the Church from Lynn Lister's America the Beautiful; however, I wanted the center to be larger and my attempts were not giving my the look of the real Church.

Here is a picture of my "blotched" door, Not only did I get the proportions incorrect, I am not pleased with the dark brown as the Church building. Something lighter would be more my style. And, the real Church is more rustic - simple shapes like squares and rectangles.

So I have decided to try my hand at recreating the Church. I am rather pleased with the look of the building graphed out. The steeple is still out to committee (lol!)

I'm thinking I will stitch the building together and then work on designing the steeple. I am planning on using the darker brown fabric for the window shutters. I am linking to Barbara at Cat Patches for the NewFO Challenge. She did say all I had to do was START.

And a fine start it is, Donna, a mighty glorious Start. Thanks for stopping by LyndaLand and commenting by way of Barb's FO party. Like you are doing with this church, I work free hand, not with patterns and love what I am doing at any given moment.

Cha Cha (The Cat!) and I live in sunny Florida. We both love fabric. She prefers sleeping on it, while I enjoy watching it magically change as the sewing machine hums. The Cat gets plenty of sleep. I, on the other hand, have to work full time so my sewing time is precious.
